| - I went in with high expectations and left empty-handed. Problem? they didn't really have what I was looking for at a reasonable price. They did however, have a lot of stuff that maybe I'll need sometime in the future.
I was recommended Shirts 'n' Things by a friend in the music scene when I told him I was looking for Demonia boots and other goth/rock apparel and accessories. Despite walking out empty handed, I have to admit that I'm really pleased to say that a store of this sort is found in Arizona at all.
Merchandise:
-band t-shirts
-accessories (body jewelry, wallets, chains, hats, etc)
-shoes/boots
-patches
-truck/car decals
-custom designed tees
-women's "pin-up" style clothing
-decor (posters, flags, etc)
-lots more I'm sure
Quality:
-wasn't over-the-moon in the quality department. Example: cigarette cases appeared to be cheap quality (for $20), patches were not band produced, they are screenprints on black fabric mass-produced in store.
-jewelry quality (specifically metal bracelets and chains) were far below the price they were asking ($35-50).
Staff:
-hit and miss helpfulness. Some were preoccupied with their task at hand, wouldn't even acknowledge someone standing in front of them.
-generally seemed more concerned about people filching items than actually trying to sell things to paying customers.
Selection:
-tons of some stuff, very little of others. Very wide variety of items to browse.
-very limited shoe selection
-tons of shirts. Shirts upon shirts upon shirts. I guess that's why it's called Shirts 'n' Things.
Good business they've got going here-- lots to choose from and they cater to the uprising of rock music fans in the Valley. Bought a leather cuff and that's it, but it's a damn cool leather cuff. Might be back if I'm in the area.
